Last year’s Steppin’ Out Gala drew a crowd of more than 3000
decked-out guests to raise funds and awareness for Roxbury’s Dimock
Center. And on November 8 from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., they’re doing it all
over again. Tickets ($200; $350 for sponsors and $100 for seniors) for
the 21st annual jazz soiree are available by calling 866.468.7619 or at
the Dimock Center (55 Dimock Street, Roxbury, 617.442.8800, ext 1006)
itself. The musical lineup of nearly 20 acts includes headliner and
R&B singer Lalah Hathaway, saxophonist Andre Ward, former Broadway Dreamgirl Julia
Nixon, and the 12-piece funk, reggae, and R&B band the Berklee City
Music All Stars. Step into your dancing shoes and step out to the Westin Boston Waterfront (425 Summer Street, Boston, 617.532.4600) for an evening of good company, great music, and all that jazz.
